The Murder of Edgar Allan Poe – First Edition
J.A.T. Lloyd
Published by Stanley Paul & Co., London, 1928

Very nice hardcover copy with dust jacket now protected in removable cover. Fully illustrated with twelve plates. All the world knows that Edgar Allan Poe received the princely sum of two pounds for “The Raven”, the manuscript of which was subsequently sold for twenty thousand pounds. In the difference between these two amounts the tragedy of the poet’s life is clearly indicated. It is the object of this biographical study to reveal the inner machinery of a cunningly systematized depreciation. Rare Collector’s Item. Seller Inventory # 634
